  • Patent number: 11944447
    Abstract: A neurovascular coupling analytical method based on an electroencephalogram and functional near-infrared spectroscopy includes: S100: acquiring an electroencephalogram signal and a brain hemodynamic signal; S110: extracting an event-related potential signal from the electroencephalogram signal; S120: extracting a time characteristic from the event-related potential signal; S130: extracting a hemodynamic response function from the brain hemodynamic signal; S140: extracting an amplitude characteristic and time characteristics from the hemodynamic response function; and S150: analyzing influence of the time characteristic of the event-related potential signal on the amplitude characteristic and the time characteristics of the hemodynamic response function to obtain a coupling result. The time characteristic of the event-related potential signal is a delay.

  • Patent number: 11495287
    Abstract: A memory unit is controlled by a first word line and a second word line. The memory unit includes a memory cell and a transpose cell. The memory cell stores a weight. The memory cell is controlled by the first word line and includes a local bit line transmitting the weight. The transpose cell is connected to the memory cell and receives the weight via the local bit line. The transpose cell includes an input bit line, an input bit line bar, an output bit line and an output bit line bar. Each of the input bit line and the input bit line bar transmits a multi-bit input value, and the transpose cell is controlled by the second word line to generate a multi-bit output value on each of the output bit line and the output bit line bar according to the multi-bit input value and the weight.

  • Patent number: 10636481
    Abstract: A memory cell for computing-in-memory applications is controlled by a first bit line, a second bit line, a word line and a read word line. The read word line transmits an input value. The memory cell includes a plurality of read-decoupled cells. Each of the read-decoupled cells stores a weight and includes a first read-decoupled transistor and a second read-decoupled transistor. The first read-decoupled transistor has a first transistor width and is controlled by the weight. The second read-decoupled transistor has a second transistor width equal to the first transistor width and generates a read bit line signal according to the input value, the weight and the second transistor width. The second transistor width of the second read-decoupled transistor of one of the read-decoupled cells is two times larger than the second transistor width of the second read-decoupled transistor of another one of the read-decoupled cells.

  • Patent number: 10381071
    Abstract: A multi-bit computing circuit for computing-in-memory applications is controlled by an input port and includes a memory cell array and a capacitor sharing unit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells connected to the input port. The memory cells store a weight which is formed in two's complement. The capacitor sharing unit includes a plurality of switches, a plurality of capacitors and a sense amplifier. The switches are electrically connected to the memory cells, respectively. The capacitors are electrically connected to the switches, respectively. The sense amplifier is electrically connected to the capacitors and generates a total operational value. The capacitors are located among the switches and the sense amplifier, and the switches are switched to enable the total operational value to be equal to the input value multiplied by the weight. The present disclosure utilizes 8T SRAM cells without an extra DAC structure.
